Temanggung Arabica coffee beans from Mount Sumbing and Sindoro, Central Java – premium green coffee for export

Origin: Temanggung’s Volcanic Highlands, Central Java

Nestled between the twin peaks of Mount Sumbing and Mount Sindoro, Temanggung lies in Central Java’s volcanic highlands. The fertile, mineral-rich soil and cool elevations — around 1,200 to 1,600 masl — nurture slow cherry maturation and distinctive flavor complexity.

A Harmony Between Nature and Tradition

Temanggung represents a balance of natural richness and human craftsmanship. Morning mists, moderate sunlight, and volcanic minerals create ideal conditions for coffee cultivation. This terroir contributes to the vibrant acidity, balanced sweetness, and clean finish that distinguish Temanggung Arabica coffee.

Generations of smallholder farmers have cultivated these highland slopes with dedication — combining traditional practices with careful selection to maintain quality and sustainability across each harvest.

The People Behind Temanggung Arabica Coffee

Local Farmers and Shared Commitment

The story of Temanggung Arabica coffee begins with a small circle of dedicated farmers who cultivate the volcanic slopes between Mount Sumbing and Mount Sindoro. Many of them manage less than two hectares of land, where coffee is grown alongside other crops as part of a balanced livelihood.

These farmers rely on traditional knowledge — selective picking, careful fermentation, and sun drying — passed down through generations. Each harvest reflects both experience and patience, shaping the authentic taste of Temanggung Arabica.

Wira Sarwa Asurya works closely with several farmer groups in Temanggung to improve post-harvest quality and access to export markets. Our ongoing collaboration focuses on building better consistency, documentation, and traceability readiness in the long term.
